Child Care Assistance Employee Discounts
I work for a day care and they offer reduced tuition for my children. I recently applied for child care assistance to help with the cost. My employer filled out the necessary paperwork and gave it to me and said, ‘If you use this program you won’t get the discount.’
Can she raise my tuition just because I receive assistance? She recently told another teacher who applied for assistance the same thing.

Yes, they can do this, because there is no legal obligation to offer reduced tuition in the first place--that is voluntary on the part of the employer. It being voluntary on their part, they can put terms, conditions, and limitations on it--such as not offering it to people who are receiving assistance to help pay for child care costs, but instead limiting it to those who do not have that resource.
